Friday Jan. 17: Written Wisdom

| 1 Comment

Yesterday was a corker. The U.N. inspectors actually managed to find some undeclared chemical warheads in Iraq. But you already knew that. Trent says it's evidence that Bush knows what he's doing. Hmm.

If you're interested in military matters at all, however, Trent's in-depth interview with a "Wild Weasel" pilot is a must-read. These are the guys who fly jets over anti-aircraft missile and gun sites, bait them into turning on their radars, then head in for the attack. Not for the faint of heart. Trouble is, the U.S. Air Force has had a lot of this capability stripped away. His piece adds real depth and concrete examples to some of the points made Wednesday by Vandergriff and Coram via "The American Way of War - Good Enough?".

Muslimpundit opened with a substantial post of his own, meanwhile, a broadside right into the pretentions of the ever-deserving Edward Said.

Damn, but I'm proud to be with these folks; and we kicked it up yet another notch today.

I debunked the "feminism is AWOL on Islam/2rd World abuses against women/slavery/whathaveyou" meme here.

Please adjust your post accordingly, and lets squash this particular canard, okay?

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
